I've been meaning to put this up. Really nice pre. I would say it has an extended high end in comparison to the 1073 - maybe a little punchier. Huge bottom. Doesn't sound as round as the Aurora GTQ, but that's a matter of taste. Kind of a 1073 that caught something from an API during a trist in New York.
First of all, my apologies to the great Paul Davis (RIP) and those of you that like to hear stuff in tune...I just ran through this acapella with a break in between, so they're neither in tune or in tune with each other...
One is just a raw vocal without any compression or verb. The next was tracked with a Retro Sta-Level knocking off the peaks (ok, maybe a little more than peaks) and a UAD-1 Plate 140 Verb. There is no EQ on either track. The mic was a Wunder CM7. (Why the hell doesn't Mike give me an endorsement? You listening, Mike?
)
